Day Ten: Memories - Ayreon

It’s been 10 days

It shouldn’t last this long

The doctor’s mystified

Nothing’s physically wrong…

But maybe in his head

He’s struggling to survive

Would it help if we talk to him?

Bring him back to life…

Do you remember that time

We were showing off our brand new flashy bikes

You looked so fine

Until you both fell over and then started to cry!

Do you recall that day

Fearlessly we climbed the highest tower

Then you became afraid

Too scared to climb down you stayed up there for hours!

Do you remember that time?

Do you recall that day?

Do remember that time

Alone at last, naked by the fire

Then all your friends came by,

They rushed in the room and you had no time to hide

Do you recall that day,

You proposed to me, and fell down to your knee

You didn’t know what to say,

So she knelt down to for she thought you’d lost your keys!

Do you remember that time?

Do you recall that day?

Can you see her light

Shining through the black

She’s reaching out to you

What’s holding you back?

Can you feel her warmth

Glowing on your skin

Don’t repress the memories

Let them all in…
